Review on ISOtunes Xtra Bluetooth Earplug Headphones: Ultimate Noise Reduction, 8-Hour Battery Life, Noise Cancelling Mic, OSHA Compliant (Black & Yellow) by Tom Duncan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Extremely comfortable with some connection issues

I've just started using these headphones and they have their pros and cons. The downsides wouldn't be such a big deal if these were cheap headphones, but at nearly $80 they shouldn't be a problem. Pros: These headphones are the most comfortable I've ever used. At work, on the bus and in training, I wear headphones in my ears for 4-8 hours a day. Usually after a long time (an hour or two) the ears begin to hurt or the buds begin to fall out of the ears. With these it's not a problem. The foam is exceptionally comfortable and fits snugly on the ear as it expands like earplugs. Noise isolation is great. When they're on, you don't hear anything at all, meaning you don't have to crank the volume up to high levels in noisy environments to hear music, a podcast, or whatever. This will protect your hearing for a long time. Cons: Communication can be interrupted when walking and tilting. The connection to what you're hearing will fade for a second or two and then come back. You can still hear whatever you want, but it's very annoying, and for a pair of headphones that cost close to $80, that shouldn't be a problem. Because of the high price I give it 3 stars. If it was $40 or less it would be 4 stars, but at this price we shouldn't have any connectivity issues. Update: After about 4 months of use, a pair of headphones no longer works. I will try to make a good 1 year guarantee. This is very disappointing as these were very comfortable headphones that were amazing when working properly.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Almost never
